DVD burner difference

NEC 3550A

Another NEC 3550A

NEC 3540

What is the difference between these burners. They all have the same performance. Also, I can't find the Benq 1640 anymore on Newegg

From NEC:

In addition, all components of the ND-3550 are ?lead-free? and therefore already comply with the statutory recycling standards of tomorrow (coming into effect on Jan 1, 2006).

This is the only difference between the 3540 and the 3550.

Chiefvalue (which is newegg) has the Benq 1640 , (although it's beige) for $44.49. Edit: Newegg has the beige for $43.99.... you must be looking for the black bezel.

AFAIK, the 4550 also reads/writes DVD-RAM disks.
